President Mahama’s Administration is excellent in taking from the people of the country.The problem now is how the people would see the benefits as payment of taxes should translate to the development of the country.
The people of Cape Three Point have come to realize that persuasion is not yielding the desire result so force must be applied.The fishing expedition has been hampered because of the oil whilst the coconut plantation has been at the verge of destruction due to the St Paul disease.
The people are wallowing in abject poverty and what has broken the camel’s back is that the only borehole that provides them drinking water is faulty and this precious necessity is a problem for them now.Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority has a question to answer when it comes to social responsibility. The GPHA derives so much from the Takoradi and Tema Ports because of the Light House at Cape Three Point. There is light supply to the homes of the workers at the Light House whilst the people of Cape Three Point do not enjoy power supply.
If the water problem is not solved by the Authority,it has been whispered that cars supplying fuel to the Light House would be blocked and thereby hindering the activities of the GPHA and the Nation would suffer the consequences. They are not asking for reinforcement of Police or the Army but the supply of drinking water by repairing their borehole.

They all do that, it is a systematic and endemic problem with folks who work for the government. Lauretta is just typical of our top government employee. They milk the system with impunity, while the poor suffer. Why would the government opt to buy $80,000 plus Land Cruiser for government workers and pay for the petrol in these petrol guzzlers. Even the richest countries don't do that. Government should think of doing away with government housing and vehicles, most of those who qualify for them can definitely afford their own homes and vehicles.

All Ghanaians in charge of state properties from the airport to anything have their luxury houses or wanna keep one, but go to our airports and see how our toilets at the airports look so unpleasant. Public buildings and its environments are all filthy but these so-called big men managed to keep big 4x4s and big homes.

I was shocked and dismayed when I tried to use a males washroom in the check in area at Kotoka airport. What I found was just 1 washroom stall, and it was so disgusting you won't find this in the washroom of an average high school in Ghana. I had to go to the local departure area to use the washroom there. These loud mouth Politicians have been loud mouthing that Kotoka is the gateway to Africa. They don't really understand what they are talking about. Kotoka airport looks to me like a 1950's facility that they are making cosmetic changes without bringing it up to international standards.

You work, you get paid, you take care of your accommodation, mobility, utilities and your personal communication gadgets and bills. The state cannot continue to take care of "educated" babies.

If just ONE gov't appointee could waste this much, Ghana would see a well equiped hospitals,schools and motorable roads if the waste is nipped in the bud!! What is warped is LIVING OFF THE STATE!!

CHRAJ and its leaders, including Mr. Emile Short, Ms. Lauretta Lamptey, and others before, have never been seriously interested in the FOIB.

Putting this item in a document nobody reads and saying it needs to be enacted is no material or meaningful support.

So, where's CHRAJ's version of a proposed FOIB for Ghana, after so much public expenditure on CHRAJ?

Ms Lamptey, the fact that your predecessor made that corrupt and wasteful spending did not warrant your also doing it.You were in a leadership position so you should have had the sense to point out the waste.If you had a good sense of responsibility, you would not have followed suite.Your excuse is highly unacceptable.You and your colleagues are living selfishly and gradually draining the country.If you said self quiting would have been irresponsible while the investigation was proceeding what difference does it make right now with your suspension? It is very shameful as a woman especially.How would you advise your children or grandchildren on responsibility?

Their meager allowances are often delayed. Meanwhile people who can afford such amenities on their own are rather pampered. Is this fair?

Just imagine all the money the government will save if it stops providing residency for CEOs of state-owned corporations and government agencies. With the exception of the President and his Vice, no public official should be provided accommodation. It is a complete waste of money and resources - money which could be diverted to build schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.

No one needs official residence to be effective on the job. This useless British system must be done away with. If the government removes all these stupid perks - houseboys and housemaids, garden boy, cooks, house cleaners, etc., I am sure the country will not need the IMF to tell us how to manage our human and natural resources.

Despite all these perks, the black man finds a dubious way to cheat the government. Why, ooh why?

HOW ABOUT THOSE SQUANDERING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF GOVERNMENT MONEY? GYEEDA AND OTHERS.
IT SEEMS MISS LAMPTEY IS NOT SINGING HER MASTER'S SONG SO SHE MUST GO AT ALL COST.
MAHAMA SHOULD ASK HIMSELF, "WHY SUSPENSIONS OF SO MANY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES"
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. ALL GOVERNMENT APPOINTEES WANT TO SIPHON STATE MONEY BEFORE THEY LEAVE OFFICE.

The policy and practice of housing government officials must end! They must. Those residing within the city or areas where their offices are located must continue to live in their own houses and be given some allowances instead. Those having to move from their regular homes to the cities to work must be made to rent on their own and given a calculated travel allowance as if that official is commuting to work from his original place of abode. Such a person could also rent his original place and use that amount to pay his new rent in the city.. Since the government cannot pay the rent for every civil servant, why pay the rent of the selected few? Are these selected few more important than other Ghanaian civil servants?

Oh Asiedu Nketia, wu ye kwasia ba paa. You and your band of NDC thieves asked and begged us Ghanaians to vote you into power to help us better our lives. But you have proved to be the most stupid educated person in Ghana. What is the use of being in power if you want to accuse the previous government. You could be in opposition to do what you are doing. Being in government means you are in control and can do the right things for Ghana. Your government has been in power for close to 6 years and you keep asking very stupid questions like this. If you really think the member of previous government did something wrong and you as the current government keep asking such stupid questions, what the fuck do you expect us to do. These are your insults. You and your john mahama are the most useless and stupid leaders we have ever had. He only knows how to travel and make empty promises. Tell him to continue cos his days are numbered. Foolish people in power.

What a cheap lawyer with a cheap argument! So because somebody was stealing, for example, you are also entitled to steal and it shouldn't be considered a crime? In effect you are telling Ghananains and the world at large that you don't understand the reason you're occupying that office. Like it is the case right now in Ghana, you see your present position as an avenue to loot the state. No wonder under your leadership CHRAJ has nothing to show as far as protecting the interests of the ordinary Ghanaian is concerned.
